John Pilger is another person who thinks today's knowledge to was available to those in the past. He reports the surface news, with his own beliefs, and rarely looks at the reasons why or from a different viewpoint. My opinion is to ignore him, as another reporter from the extremes. Take the opening topic, Bikini Atoll. Today we know you cannot detonate a nuclear device like those early ones and not irradiate everything. They did not know that they couldn't just wash down a warship, placed in the area to see at what distance naval ships would survive, and put it back into service. The US Navy put it's own manpower onto those ships and tried to clean off the radiation using sea water. Which, due to the limited knowledge of the time, they didn't realise was also irradiated. All those seamen also suffered from the effects. |

John Pilger.....well known for his prejudiced views portraying China and Russia as misunderstood and embattled 'defenders' of their countries against the depredations of the tyrannical powers of the 'West'. I think Pilger significantly underestimates the danger posed by a Drumpf Presidency, for instance, while Pilger rightly notes the US $1T over 20 years nuclear arms budget, Drumpf has said this is insufficient: Drumpf wrote: Russia has been expanding their — they have a much newer capability than we do. We have not been updating from the new standpoint. I looked the other night. I was seeing B-52s. They're old enough that your father, your grandfather, could be flying them. We are not — we are not keeping up with other countries. (source) Drumpf has said that he believes non-nuclear powers should be able to acquire such weapons (e.g. Japan and South Korea), effectively advocating for the dismantling of the NPT. From the date on the article it seems it was written before Drumpf made these statements, I wonder if Pilger's view has changed as a result I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

However, maybe the rest of the world should support him just so we can watch America implode. Unfortunately if America goes down, it will drag us with it, and I do not want to live next door to an unstable country. His proposed tax cuts will threaten US fiscal security. His idea's on debt re-structuring will de-stabilise world stock markets. Import restrictions would harm all countries including the US. Tearing up the trade agreements life NAFTA would hurt all parties. Isolationism would kill globalisation, and the US is a major exporter, these exports would soon slow down, even stop if other countries follow the import restrictions. Pulling out of NATO and defense agreements and his idea of a war on Islam would encourage terrorism. His style of management will frighten off lots of companies of doing government funded business. Getting tired or would carry on. |

Getting tired or would carry on. His ideas on race would permit Putin to invade to prevent a genocide and have history on his side. |

And hillary's idea on wide open borders, giving away everything, raising taxes and more government spending will crash us as a nation (by design!) In other words, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ZOKDmorj0? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

And hillary's idea on wide open borders, giving away everything, raising taxes and more government spending will crash us as a nation (by design!) Here is the story of Derek Black. Yes that Derek Black, formerly of Stormfront. Son of Don Black, founder of Stormfront, white nationalist, Grand Wizard KKK, former member of the American Nazi Party. Derek Black is also the godson of David Duke leader of the American white nationalists, politician, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, and former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The white flight of Derek Black |

Unfortunately. Both sides have Hater's, Racist's, Sexist's, etc. Among their supporters. Because where he stands is the middle ground, so sayeth Clyde! If it isn't that then it might be trollish behavior. <ed>quote fixed |

Assuming that Hillary will continue for the most part the policies and actions of the Obama administration I wonder why the news media has ignored the fact that twice as many soldiers have been killed in the middle east during Obama's term as CNC than were killed during the Bush years and with no better results. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/1188-us-military-deaths-afghan-war-obama-became-president Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required.

But would they have been there at all if it wasn't for GW's debatable fight tactics against terrorism? |

Your response didn't attempt to answer the question. It was the typical liberal try to shift the blame. No one but Barack Obama is responsible for US middle east policy since 2009, and I believe he made a campaign promise to get the US out of the middle east.
